Okay, not to hi-jack this thread but in the same vein, different rifle. I've got a 1942 GI M1 carbine with the standard full stock. using the information above, I can put a folding stock on it correct? this would be a current manufacture aftermarket repro folder If so, how come no one will ship a folding stock to NYS?

Because they are too dumb to learn the laws?

To the best of my knowledge, the rifle would have to have been configured as an "assault rifle" before the ban took place. It'd need the three evil features required. I know they come with flash hiders and detachable mags from the factory, so just make sure it has the bayonet lug on it as well and then you're good to go 100%. Not many people know this, but if a manufacturer made, say an AR lower before the ban took place and it was not assembled as a rifle before the ban, then the receiver is still technically not pre-ban.

I disagree. I'm sure this is going to have people coming from both sides to say both viewpoints as well. This has come up before, but where is the law saying it had to be an Evil Rifle before?

It is impossible to know how the rifle was configured before the ban. might have been another folder even before the fix stock and noone can tell.
Some could have 7 stocks before the ban one for every day of the week.

Exactly.

I'm simply going by what I have heard many times from various sources, and although it may not be 100% true, I'd much rather cover my ask then risk spending thousands in court.

Respectable, but I go by the view that FUD needs to stop bing spread. Not saying you are wrong or right, but proof is what we need.

The other info in that post is in regards to the federal AWB. Does that equal the NYS one? Not sure. I've seen nothing saying that it does and with the popularity of Pre-Ban receivers for ARs I tend to think it isn't true.
